<A NAME="TI5723"></A><p>The PowerBuilder .NET Web Forms solution employs ASP.NET technology.
It has a three-tier architecture, with the browser client as the front
end, and the PowerBuilder components on the IIS server as the middle
tier. The database tier remains unchanged. </p>
<A NAME="TI5724"></A><p>Moving an existing application from client-server architecture
to three-tier Web architecture typically requires a significant
effort in modifying the application code and the tolerance of various
functionality restrictions due to constraints of the Web environment.
The PowerBuilder .NET Web Forms solution is intended to greatly
ease the deployment of existing client-server applications to the
Web and to allow you to use your PowerBuilder skills to create new
Web applications. </p>
<A NAME="TI5725"></A><p>PowerBuilder includes targets for creating .NET assemblies
and .NET Web service applications from PowerBuilder nonvisual objects. </p>
